Did you use this link : http://www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/amd_catalyst_13.11_betav8.exe ? The mobility drivers are different.

Although I'm really happy with the performance already. I was worried since the beta ran like crap for me, but I can play the full game with a mix of ultra and high settings, and it runs almost as well as BF3.

The website says the drivers should be around 200 MB, but the file I download is only around 70 MB.

Did you check in multiplayer or just battlelog? I literally went from quitting the credits into a multiplayer match and had the m249 available.

So if I don't let the credits scroll past I'm guessing I won't be getting the weapons from the campaign assignment? These are long rear end credits.

Takes a while to show up but you do eventually get credit. Eventually.

I think there's two things exacerbating this at the moment, the MBT-LAW and PDW's being the Engineer's primary weapon. The MBT-LAW is just terrible unless you manage to catch a lased helicopter during its flare cooldown and PDW's are a pretty situational weapons so engineers could be dying before they manage to get into a position to shoot a tank. I know I just unlocked the AK-5C just last night and its unbelievable how much of a difference its made.

Enjoy it while you can.
I don't get the constant loving lag spikes I'm getting through my loving ISP. The game will run fine for two or three maps, but then after that I get this loving rubberbanding poo poo and my ping goes from 20-40 to 800+. Comcast says it's not their problem but other people are having similar issues in my area while others just west of us on the other side of the river don't have this issue. Makes a fun game very loving frustrating when people just magically appear in front of you in an empty room, or you hose down someone, get hit indicators, and you find out you did jack poo poo.

Other than that the m249 you get from the single player game is fantastic. The ability to just hose down areas and just keep the pressure on people down range with it is fun.

Mobile AA needs to have the active missiles nerfed a bit, just make them a bit slower. As they are, I can deny helo's taking off from spawn and any jets that get near me are usually going to eat two missiles since there is no warning that they are coming.

Edit: Oh, has anyone found a way to unbind the B button? Right now if you double tap it you get the loving console, and I use it to switch between burst/auto/single.

I wish commander mode was scaled down so that it doesn't constantly use 100% of the GPU and CPU. I can understand normal multiplayer giving my computer a workout, but for commander mode (and the campaign ending credits as well), it doesn't seem necessary.

I get this problem on Battlelog, to fix it (on chrome at least), on the right edge of the address bar there will be a shield with a tooltip that says "this page includes script from unauthenticated sources" just click on it and allow it and battlelog will load up fine.

Although not sure if it'll fix it for firefox, could be a different problem.

You can't really run and gun and expect to do well with the U-100. It pretty much requires you to post up with your bipod and lock down a corridor. I had a pretty easy time unlocking it by deploying the the roof of C/D on Zavod and pretty much anywhere on Op. Locker.

My problem with that strategy is I can set up at deployment and still get instantly killed. Something about deploying a bipod gets me focus fired. No amount of repositioning fixes that so I'm stuck running and gunning.

On the other hand I just unlocked the Type 88 and got to use the 2x IRNV and it's amazing. Doubled the kills of the top player on the other team and the second player on my team.

MX518 worked fine during the beta and this G400s that replaced it works fine right now. One solution is to setup your keybinds in the keyboard column and set those keys in the Logitech software to the side buttons if the default mouse buttons don't get bound in the mouse column I guess?

I can't believe Q is spot, hold Q is the comm rose, and there's no way to separate the two. While spamming Q and firing at someone I frequently hold Q a fraction of a second too long, the comm rose comes up and I stop firing. Dying to that mistake is tragic.

Nothing like having carbines and shotguns unlocked but still forcing yourself to use DMRs as recon in the hopes that they'll "click" and not feel pointless. I guess at medium range they take one round less to kill a target than an assault rifle or carbine on single shot and you get a 4x ACOG installed by a blind gunsmith? Nothing like popping off shot after shot with the ^ right on a guy's head only for him to calmly turn around and spray you down in half a second with a carbine.
